S 7507 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Relates to paper receipts and requires businesses to provide proof of purchase electronically

S 7507 requires most retail businesses in New York to provide proof of purchase (like receipts) electronically upon customer request, phasing out mandatory paper receipts. Starting January 1, 2028, businesses cannot print paper receipts unless a customer specifically asks for them; by January 1, 2030, customers must be offered electronic options if they want a receipt (with small businesses having extended deadlines until 2030/2032). The bill excludes healthcare providers and allows businesses to skip electronic receipts during technical issues like outages. Violations carry $20 penalties per incident (capped at $300 annually), enforced by the state.

MINOR

This bill was amended to add a committee discharge status and adjust the bill number to indicate it has been amended. The core policy content regarding paper receipt bans remains largely the same, with one substantive addition: small businesses with gross revenue of five million dollars or less now have delayed implementation dates for the receipt ban requirements.

Scope change

The bill's applicability was expanded to include a phased implementation timeline for small businesses with annual gross revenue of five million dollars or less, which will have later effective dates for the receipt ban requirements compared to larger businesses.

TIMELINE

Added a new subdivision 4 that provides delayed effective dates for small businesses (gross revenue of five million dollars or less). These businesses will have the initial receipt ban requirements effective January 1, 2030, and the electronic receipt requirements effective January 1, 2032, instead of the standard January 1, 2028 and 2030 dates for other businesses.

TECHNICAL

Changed the bill number from S 7507 to S 7507--A to indicate it has been amended, and added committee discharge language showing the bill was amended and recommitted to the Environmental Conservation Committee.

Minor formatting adjustments including spacing changes in the title and section headers, and updating the legislative document identifier from LBD11707-01-5 to LBD11707-02-5.
